Preliminary Pharmacokinetics of Diclazuril and Toltrazuril in the Horse
نویسنده
چکیده
This pilot study suggests that diclazuril and toltrazuril are absorbed after oral administration and have longer (40–55 h) plasma half-lives. These kinetic characteristics suggest readily maintained steady-state plasma concentrations. These are useful characteristics for therapeutic agents; however, therapeutic specifics for these agests in the horse remain to be determined. Authors’ address: Maxwell H.

Diclazuril and equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM): a clinical report
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a nervous system disease caused by the protozoan Sarcocystis neurona. The clinical syndrome caused by the disease can have a variety of presentations. Classically, horses present with asymmetric ataxia and weakness defined by multifocal central nervous system lesions. Successful management of this disease has been frustrated by failure of treatment su...
متن کاملNew therapeutic approaches for equine protozoal myeloencephalitis: pharmacokinetics of diclazuril sodium salts in horses.
Diclazuril is a triazine-based antiprotozoal agent which may have clinical application in the treatment of equine protozoal myeloencephalomyelitis (EPM). In this study, the use of the sodium salt diclazuril to increase the apparent bioavailability of diclazuril for the treatment and prophylaxis of EPM and various other Apicomplexan mediated diseases is described. In this study, diclazuril sodiu...
متن کاملLiquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Synthetic Coccidiostats in Eggs
Coccidiostats are synthetic drugs administered to animals, especially to poultry, to cure coccidiosis. In this paper, we present a selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to analyze residues of five synthetic coccidiostats in eggs: clazuril, diclazuril, robenidine, nicarbazin, toltrazuril and its two metabolites. The extraction efficiency was evaluated by test...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid and blood concentrations of toltrazuril 5% suspension in the horse after oral dosing.
Toltrazuril 5% suspension (Baycox, Bayer Canada, Ontario, Canada) was administered to six adult horses followed by blood collection and assay to determine the concentration of toltrazuril and its principal metabolites, toltrazuril sulfone and toltrazuril sulfoxide. From this data, the maximum concentration (C(max)), elimination half-life (T 1/2), and mean residence times of the plasma were dete...

This trial was undertaken with the objective to evaluate the efficacy of amprolium, toltrazuril and their combination in rabbits naturally infected with Eimeria species (32 × 103 ± 4.63 oocysts per gram (OPG) of faeces). Thirty-six rabbits (11 weeks old with average body weight (BW) 2000 ± 75 g), were randomly allocated into six groups (six kits each), namely, negative untreated and was retaine...
